POLL: Vote For Christina Perri's "Burning Gold" As Best New Single
OKMagazine.com: You've been open about how long of a process it was working on this second album, Head or Heart. What are you feeling now that the release date is finally here?
Christina Perri: I feel a giant sense of relief, mixed with a dash of terror & excitement. It’s quite overwhelming actually, to finally tell the 13 secrets I’ve been keeping for a year and a half. It’s scary because I have zero control over what happens next!
OKMagazine.com: So many of the songs are personal, but which one holds a special place for you and what is it about?
CP: They are all super special. Seriously, all of them are as personal as possible, but if I had to choose one I’d say “Trust.” It’s the first song I wrote for Head or Heart and it’s the song that inspired the whole theme and the question that I’m proposing. It feels like the first born!

OKMagazine.com: You worked with Ed Sheeran on one song, and he's clearly had a lot of duet partners. Why do you think so many artists want to work with him?
CP: Because he's a legend and one of the sweetest dudes on the planet.
OKMagazine.com: If you could get a new tattoo to represent this album, what would it be and why?
CP: I probably will get one! (laughs). Maybe one of the fan doodles that I had everyone drawing up to the release date. There were some seriously great head/heart illustrations. By the time this cycle is over, I can guarantee you I will have something new.

OKMagazine.com: What kind of stuff do you plan to do in between cities? Do you have a show you're dying to binge watch on Netflix while you're on the road?
CP: Sadly, I have caught up on all my favorite shows, so I need to start a new one, but Game of Thrones comes back! Also, I love me some Once Upon a Time and Parenthood, which I have to enjoy weekly now. I’m thinking Friday Night Lights might be my next binge.
OKMagazine.com: What's the main lesson or thing you want fans to take away from listening to Head or Heart?
